Clinical Practice Guidelines

Bringing together the best available evidence for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of patients

Bringing together the best available evidence to underpin scientifically-valid recommendations for the prevention and diagnosis of cancer and treatment and care of patients.

Cancer Council Australia's Clinical Guidelines Network (formerly Australian Cancer Network) has developed high standards of preparation and evaluation of guidelines for health professionals. Equally important, most guidelines have also prepared a condensed format for use in general practice and written for patients and non-clinical readers.

Cancer Council Australia is now moving towards developing and publishing online clinical practice guidelines. See the  Cancer Guidelines wiki.
